After travelling to South America and Asia,
Beetle & Flor discovered how they could put their "design services to good use" by offering their design assistance to "under-served communities who depend on making crafts as a living" but who need assistance in reaching a wider international market. "We began offering low-cost or pro bono services, spicing up traditional creations or reconfiguring designs to the "needs" of their target market, and helping with elements of branding and marketing." To fund these low-cost/pro bono services, Beetle & Flor started producing their "North American Wildlife" series, a collection of porcelain animal skulls inspired by Christine Facella's science illustrations for the Museum of Natural History in New York. I just ♥ them.
